In Tentative Intrigue, With John Isaacs

You’re kind of like a disease, John, 

And,

I'd like to see your meat rot, John.

And your books (not your neons), 

And your well-made website, John.


I was recumbent with my ex lover, John. 

We were looking at your messed up corpse- maybe

More than mangled flesh, John,

We were looking at your World View.

A view that I know to be a little bit freudian, 

Concerningly associated with Adam Smith. 


I think it’d rivet you, John, 

If you knew the Adam Smith that I know. 

It’s a veritable pit of shit, John. 


It meant as much to me, 

As a saved for later entry on abebooks does, 

As a tattoo scratch that can’t ever go away, 

 John. 


I’ll be yours soon (neon and all)

You stir my impulses with your cubic flesh

I like you more when I imagine you as a pervert

I imagine you, John, 

As matter made wax.
